8538 divided by 96 
We want to figure out the number of times 8538 can be divided by 96.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 96

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 96 fits into 85 0 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 85 leaves us with 85.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 85 and continue: 853 / 96

Moving on to step 3:
853 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 85.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 768 from 853.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 858 / 96

Let's proceed to step 4:
858 divided by 96 is 8 with a remainder of 90.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 768 from 858.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
The number 96 fits into 900 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.9
Subtracting 864 from 900 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
360 divided by 96 is 3 with a remainder of 72.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.93
Deduct 288 from 360 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
96 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.937
If we take 672 away from 720, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
96 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.9375
If we take 480 away from 480, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 96 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.9375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 0 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88.9375
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 88.9375 with a remainder of 0.0.
